Quadzilla Proshark Problem

[Gerardfitz]

Hi Guys, new to the forum so apologies if i am posting in the wrong place. 
So my son got a new Quadzilla Proshark from Santa. Seemed to be running fine yesterday but today it starts then dies or doesn’t have enough power to move the quad.

I’ve checked the spark plug and seemed ok. Floats moving in carb. It’s a bit Smokey but not crazy. 

What you reckons the problem? Something simple I can tackle while the shop is closed?

Hi can anyone help me out? I’ve a wee guy at the house with a very long face 😔

Is there a choke and have you messed with that? It sounds like a fuel problem to me. It starts but then dies out, right? Is there a fuel petcock valve that is in the wrong position possibly? Is this thing new or used?

Yep has a choke but haven’t messed with it. Didn’t need it to start Christmas morning. Cleaned the carb. Jets all fine. Petcock working ok on reserve and on position. 
 

Anyone know where I can get a manual to check position of air screws etc. It’s the Proshark 100cc off road model.

Is it just me or is this a sh** forum? About as helpful as a waterproof teabag! 🙄

Ha..

If you work on it you'll probably void the warranty..

Blocked exhaust ?

After it's died take the sparkplug out and see if it's wet or dry..
